She emigrated to the UK during the Second World War and began producing ceramic buttons for the fashion industry, after spotting a gap in the market as many British button factories had been requisitioned for the War effort. This exhibition at the Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA), York Art Gallery highlights this less well known area of her practice, displaying hundreds of her beautiful buttons alongside many examples of domestic wares she became celebrated for. https://fibule.eu/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://fibule.eu/about/ I’m a Belgian buttoncollector, and member of several European and American button collectors societies. I like to visit the meetings and the events of the societies, but sometimes there are some inconveniences, two or more events are planned on the same day for instance. That’s why I like to create a platform to centralise the dates of events, exhibitions and meetings of all the European button collector societies. It could be easier to organise the trips around Europe.
